Welcome to another intriguing installment of Deep Shallow Dive! In this episode, we explore two headline-grabbing incidents of 2025: a "terrorist" explosion involving a Tesla Cybertruck near Trump Tower in Las Vegas and a mysterious case in New Orleans. Through a blend of media analysis, narrative breakdowns, and investigative storytelling, we unpack the questionable mainstream media coverage, alleged reverse psyops, and the implications for future defense spending and surveillance. Special guest Ian Carroll, a renowned independent journalist, lends his expertise on these unfolding conspiracies.
